1986 Porsche 944 Turbo on 2040-cars
Whitehall, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is your chance to own a true classic. It's the first year for the 944 Turbo. This is an unmolested car with the correct Porsche phone dial wheels in great shape. The car has been my daily driver since the snow has stopped falling in the Northeast and it is a pleasure to drive. The clutch and the transmission function properly along with the heat and defrost. All power options function, i.e. windows, sunroof, etc. without any leaking. A/C compressor comes on, but it is still too cold to tell how cold it blows. Alpine A/M, F/M, CD player works well along with the front and back Kenwood speakers.
The car has Porsche brake calipers on all four corners. This car is a true driver. There are minor paint blemishes on the top of the passenger side front fender and a door ding on the driver's side door (see pictures). Interior is in great shape, especially for a car from 1986. There are no rips and only minor wear on the seats. The dash has a few small cracks near the vents as all 944's do. The car just underwent a full belt service along with pulleys. At that time, the water pump was inspected and appears to be recently replaced. So the timing belt was replaced even though the old one looked relatively new. The tires have 95% tread. The car is being offered at no reserve, so bid to own. PPI's are welcome and encouraged. All in all, a great car for daily driving or even track use. There are not many 944 Turbos out there that have not been chipped or abused. As you can see in the pictures, the sunroof cover and tool kit come with the car. I did not have this car detailed to hide any imperfections. Looks as though there was an insert in-between the tail lights that has been removed and license plate holes on rear bumper are filled in. Currently has antique plates and is titled in Pennsylvania. Call Sam at 484-375-5667 with any questions or specific pictures you may want. In closing, I have owned Porsche's for over 20 years and I can say you will not find one in this shape at a no reserve auction. This car is sold as is, where is, with no warranty express or implied. |

New J.D. Power Initial Quality Study puts Porsche, GM in spotlight
Wed, 19 Jun 2013J.D. Power and Associates has released its annual Initial Quality Study, and this year, Porsche and General Motors took the spotlight. The study, which asks new car owners to report problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership, found that overall, the industry averages 113 problems per 100 vehicles.
Porsche managed a score of just 80 problems per 100 vehicles, while GMC took the second spot on the podium with 90. Lexus filled out the top three with 94 problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Infiniti at 95 and Chevrolet at 97. The study also looks at specific models, and found the Lexus LS to enjoy the best initial quality at 59 problems per 100 vehicles.
Interestingly enough, the report found that around two-thirds of most owner problems experienced in the first 90 days are attributable to vehicle design instead of mechanical failure. Specifically - echoing a refrain we've been hearing for the last few years - owners are having a hard time figuring out how to use the technology present in their new vehicles. Head over to the J.D. Power site for more information, or scroll down below for the company's related press release.
Watch onboard video of the Porsche 918 Spyder's record 'Ring lap
Tue, 10 Sep 2013"Pics or it didn't happen!" You could almost hear the Internet shouting this when news started to trickle in about a sub-seven-minute Nürburgring lap by the new Porsche 918 Spyder. Well, after an official press release, which we ran earlier today, we have your "pics." Moving pics, to be more exact. Porsche has released on-board footage of the 6:57 lap.
The video, which runs about eight-and-a-half minutes, and shows the 918 from inside the car on a flying lap of the German track. Perhaps what's remarkable is just how undramatic it all looks. Sure, there's some sawing at the wheel from test driver Marc Lieb (one of three testers, including legendary rally king Walter Röhrl), but he makes wrangling the Martini-liveried 918 look kind of easy.
Take a look down below for the full, on-board video, and then click over and read our initial write-up from earlier this morning and take a glance at the more stylized video that Porsche originally posted.
The 2013 Rolex 24-hour race at Daytona comes down to the last hour [spoilers, w/video]
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It took 24 hours to run the race, but it was the last one was stuffed with the high action as four cars were still trying to figure out how to gain victory on the track and in the pits. Along with the obligatory crashes, spins, mechanical issues and retirements had come numerous penalties, a double-digit number of full-course yellows and two hours of fog that turned early Sunday morning into a stretch of parade laps.
The final hour would make up for the morning - drivers who might have been happy just to get on the podium had a shot at victory as the end of the race approached, and that turned into a few gambles that paid off, and at least one that didn't...
